Get Involved!



Dear Parent or Guardian:
Studies show that parental involvement in a child's education is one of the most important factors in raising student self-esteem and academic achievement. Moreover, most experts agree that parental involvement should go beyond attendance at teacher conferences and open house. We realize, however, that each of our families is unique – with its own priorities, needs, talents, and time constraints -- and so we try to provide as many different kinds of opportunities for parental involvement as possible. Please review the volunteer opportunities suggested below, and check any you are interested in -- or tell us what you would like to do. Then return the form to school.

Volunteer opportunities:

o Speak at career day.
o Organize a college fair.
o Share curriculum related pictures and souvenirs from a personal or family trip.
o Direct a play.
o Teach students to play chess.
o Arrange for curriculum related speakers, exhibits, demonstrations.
o Share a talent, interest, or hobby.
o Tutor individuals or small groups of students.
o Mentor a student interested in your profession.
o Coach a sport.
o Publish a school or classroom newsletter.
o Set up and help maintain a school or classroom Web site.
o Manage a classroom project.
o Chaperon a field trip.
o Organize or participate in a special event.
o Lead a scout troop.
o Translate notices, letters, and forms into another language.
o Provide another parent with transportation to a conference or school event.
o Baby-sit for other parents on conference days.
o Organize a school fundraiser.
o Offer to donate books, art materials, musical instruments, games.... the list is endless.

This week classroom News:

The students will be taking a field trip this month to the Oklahoma City Zoo. Please be sure that your child's permission slip has been signed and returned back to school or I will be sending out an email reminding you as the date approaches. Please remember that we are having our Christmas program next week. You child will need to wear some form of a white or red shirt for the program. Thank you to the parents who have been working on the program props and costumes. You are so greatly appreciated and we could not do it without you. This week our class is going to be exploring clouds and what characteristics makes clouds different. We are also starting to discuss money sense and will be playing many games working on this topic. As always, if you have any concerns or questions please shoot me an email or give me a call. Thank you for helping us have such a successful school year!
